Important to Author

I would say that one very big aspect of this author’s writing is religion. From the start the author has talked about religion inspiring various well known artists. He goes back to the biblical times and how different parts of the bible must have inspired different artists. He even went back to times of a more powerful Greek empire and how even back then gods inspired their different sculptures. Perfection is also discussed. It is because of god that these artists want to try and achieve perfection in their pieces, especially when they are doing a piece that is inspired by an event that is written about in the bible. However, at the same time the author is trying to reach perfection not only for religious pieces but all pieces in general. The author goes through the histories of art and how the progress of art later leads to a closer perfection. The author states that as art goes on in history different aspects of it become improved. Art is no longer colorless, it has become much more vibrant. There is also much more detail to things now and more shapes than there used to be in art. Now there is also more organization to pieces and there are actual meanings and purposes that are driving artists to come up with these extraordinary pieces. All of these different things have helped art to become closer to some sort of perfection.
